The Imam, mentions that it is recommended to visit the grave of the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ after which he quotes the various narrations recommending the visitation of the grave of the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . The Imam than, like nearly all the Imams of Ahlus Sunnah, quotes the famous narration of al-Utbi (rah.), where the latter narrates:

“As I was sitting by the grave of the Prophet, a Bedouin Arab came and said: “Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah! I have heard Allah saying: {“If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah’s forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful” } (4:64), so I have come to you asking forgiveness for my sin, seeking your intercession with my Lord.”

Then he began to recite poetry:

O best of those whose bones are buried in the deep earth,

And from whose fragrance the depth

and the height have become sweet,

May I be the ransom for a grave which thou inhabit,

And in which are found purity, bounty and munificence!

Then he left, and I slept and saw the Nabi (Sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) in my sleep. He said to me: “Yā `Utbi, run after the Bedouin and give him glad tidings that Allah has forgiven him.”
